Jay Z’s music streaming service is moving into creating original drama and nonfiction programming. The subscription base is diversifying and Netflix will have another rival to contend with. Tidal, according to Variety has commissioned two new series. One is a Brooklyn street-life drama titled “Money & Violence” season 2 (pictured above), with new episodes slated to premiere in January. Followed by “No Small Talk,” a series profiling up-and-coming comedians, due out Nov. 3.

Tidal directly ordered season 2 of “Money & Violence” after creator and star Moise Verneau self-financed first series that was shared and watched on YouTube. Tidal offers all episodes of “Money & Violence” season 1 plus exclusive access to extras and commentary. The urban drama follows a group of thieves and drug dealers in Flatbush. The series provides a realistic look at daily life in the Flatbush community. Comedy series “No Small Talk” is hosted by DJ and TV personality Cipha Sounds, produced exclusively for Tidal. It will initially be five 25-30 minutes episodes.

Tidal offers an established service of exclusive video content with more than 70 music videos, short films and on-demand videos of past livestreams. Now subscribers will get bang for their buck with original content. It seems an all-encompassing service with music, video and original content is very appealing to audiences to audience and a natural progression for streaming sites. Tidal is ambitious to attempt it amid their rocky start to the year, only launching in March.

So far, in the U.K and Ireland, Netflix corners the market with its vast library of content and proven track record with high quality original series. Competition is always healthy but it might be years before we see a ‘Tidal wave’ becoming a thing- nothing can replace ~Netflix and Chill~.
